Goodbye to Vegas & Hello to Michigan Part2

8-13-02
The night of the 12th, I got to feeling really inspired and wrote a lot of my story "Harry Potter--The Bachelor", but I also got to feeling really sick and had horrible cramps. The next morning, I was still super-sick. We went to New York, New York where they used to have this awesome place called the Motown Cafe... but now it's gone all of a sudden! They replaced the Motown Cafe with stupid ESPN Zone! I was really sick, and couldn't even eat. I looked all over New York, New York for some Newsies, but there weren't any. *Pouts*
Later on, we went on this I-MAX 3D Motion Ride at the Excalibur, and that turned out to suck really, really bad. Then we got all dressed up and returned to New York, New York to see this stand-up comedian, Rita Rudner. I didn't think she was all that funny, and I guess I was kind of a jerk to Dad and Zach about it, so they got mad at me, and I was all sick and... that day just wasn't very good.

They tore up most of the good stuff in the Fashion Show Mall! Suddenly, my favorite restaurant, Dive, was no longer there, and neither was Sam Goody, or the good makeup place, or the giant Bath & Body Works! *Cries*
We ate at the Harrah's Buffet for a late lunch, and spent the evening having fun watching the Pirate show at Treasure Island and shopping at the Vinician's mall place.
Then we went to my very favorite place, the Flamingo Hilton, where I plan to one day get married. We checked out the coolest part of the casino, the garden/pool area. There are all these pools that are connected by water-slides, beautiful gardens, live flamingos, and these tiny little penguins. My dad went inside to gamble, but Zach and I stayed outside. The pool was closed at night-time and it wasn't even our hotel, so I thought it'd be fun to try and get into the pool with my clothes on, without getting them wet. Zach took pictures, and I took a pic of him in the lifeguard's chair, but then the security guard caught us. *Hangs head* The Flamingo Hilton's pool area is really big, so we weren't all that sure how to get back into the casino. We just started walking around... and walking around... and soon we had no idea where we were. We saw this 27,000,000 step staircase, and decided to go up it... but that wasn't smart. We ended up on the roof of the freaking casino! It took us forever to find the casino, and we were soooooooooo tired when we did! That day wasn't very good.

Today was spent flying. *Waves* Hello, I'm home now! So... yup! Time to catch up on some diaries! I'll try and post some pictures from the trip on here later. See ya!
